Abstract: An apparatus for testing user interface integrity of speech-enabled devices includes a processor and a storage medium coupled to the processor. A set of voiced utterances is stored in the storage medium. A software module is executed by the processor to determine a state of the voice recognizer and provide a response to the voice recognizer in accordance with the determined state. The response may be to produce at least one voiced utterance in accordance with the state. The apparatus may be acoustically coupled to the voice recognizer. The apparatus may also, or in the alternative, be electrically coupled by a cable to the voice recognizer. The set of voiced utterances may include multiple sets of voiced utterances, each set having been spoken by a different person. The set of voiced utterances may also, or in the alternative, include multiple sets of voiced utterances, each set of voiced utterances having been spoken under different background noise conditions. The software module may also be executable to monitor the performance of the voice recognizer.

Abstract: A method for measuring the wall thickness of plastic containers during a container manufacturing process includes providing a plastic container, the plastic container having a longitudinal axis and at least two side walls spaced radially from the longitudinal axis. The side walls are formed of a material that absorbs light energy in a predetermined molecular absorption band. Light energy is then directed from a source through the at least two side walls of the plastic container in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the plastic container. A portion of the light energy that passes through the sidewalls of the plastic container is sensed, and a signal representing a thickness of the sidewalls of the plastic container is generated from the sensed portion of the light energy.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for treating discolored natural diamond, especially Type IIa diamond and Type IaA/B diamond with nitrogen as predominantly B centers, for improving its color. The method includes preblocking and preshaping a discolored natural diamond to prevent its breakage in a high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) press, placing said discolored natural diamond in a pressure transmitting medium which is consolidated into a pill. Next, the pill is placed into a HP/HT press at elevated pressure and elevated temperature within the graphite-stable or diamond-stable range of the carbon phase diagram for a time sufficient to improve the color of said diamond. Finally, the diamond is recovered from said press. Colorless and fancy colored diamonds can be made by this method.

Abstract: A suction attachment for a vacuum cleaner. The suction attachment comprises a foot, a suction opening extending in an imaginary plane, and a connection member for connecting the foot to a suction channel of the vacuum cleaner. The foot is provided with a brush, which is displaceable by means of an adjusting device from a first position, in which the brush is recessed in the suction opening, to a second position, in which the brush protrudes from the suction opening. The foot is rotatable with respect to the connection member about an axis of rotation, which extends substantially perpendicularly to the imaginary plane, from a first position to at least a second position, and the adjusting device includes a coupling member by means of which the brush is coupled to the connection member, the coupling member holding the brush in its first position, in the first position of the foot, and the coupling member holding the brush in its second position, in the second position of the foot. In this manner, the brush can be displaced in the foot in a light and convenient manner by simply rotating the foot about the axis of rotation. In a preferred embodiment, the foot is symmetrical in shape and can be rotated from a first position, in which the foot extends perpendicularly to a displacement direction X of the foot and the brush is in its first position, to a second position, in which the foot is rotated through 180° with respect to the first position and the brush is in its second position, and to a third position and a fourth position, in which the foot is rotated through 90° and 270°, respectively, with respect to the first position, and the brush is in its second and first position, respectively. In the third and the fourth position of the foot, the suction attachement has a comparatively small width and is suitable for cleaning narrow spaces or corners.
